Comedian Daniel Tosh has apologized for a series of rape joke, after a blogger posted about a female heckler’s experience during one of his recent shows in Los Angeles. During the show, the Tosh 2.0 star was interrupted by a heckler who said that rape jokes are “never funny.” According to the blogger, Tosh responded by saying, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now?” After the post went viral, Tosh tweeted, “All out of context misquotes aside, I’d like to sincerely apologize.” But a minute later he posted, “The point I was making before I was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. #deadbabies.”
